TeacherSolidarity Research Collaborative

For some time Mary Compton, past President of the NUT in England and Wales has run a solidarity website that highlights teachers’ struggles and resistances to neoliberal and corporatised education reform all over the world.

The site has recently been upgraded (with support from the BCTF) and as part of that a ‘research collaborative’ has been established. This was formed initially on the basis of discussions between Mary, Lois Weiner, Larry Kuehn (BCTF) and myself. The aims are presented on the TeacherSolidarity Research Collaborative‘s webpage – but put simply, are to collate research about teachers’ unions and teachers’ work, and to make this as available as possible to teachers, scholars and activists in order to help them in their campaigns and struggles.
